Star players
Nigeria boasts of some of the best African players currently. They have former Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi as their captain.
Mikel Obi currently plays for Chinese side Tianjin Teda and is one of the most experienced players in the squad.
Chelsea's Victor Moses, on the other hand, perhaps has more x-factor.
Naturally a forward, Moses has constantly been played by Chelsea manager Antonio Conte as a right-winger.
